'Shoot-to-kill' demand by US

Martin Bright, home affairs editor
Sunday November 16, 2003
The Observer

Home Secretary David Blunkett has refused to grant diplomatic immunity to
armed American special agents and snipers travelling to Britain as part of
President Bush's entourage this week.

In the case of the accidental shooting of a protester, the Americans in
Bush's protection squad will face justice in a British court as would any
other visitor, the Home Office has confirmed.

The issue of immunity is one of a series of extraordinary US demands turned
down by Ministers and Downing Street during preparations for the Bush visit.

These included the closure of the Tube network, the use of US air force
planes and helicopters and the shipping in of battlefield weaponry to use
against rioters.

That rest of the world thing is something that US leaders seem to underestimate. They count on the rest of the world not being willing to see their very own US dollar reserves devalued by a their own move to a mass exodus from the US buck. Relativity?

Having been to a few spots aroung the globe in the past couple of years, I'm happy with my bets. A financial fork is what makes the US vulnerable, and the latest WAR, the WAR on trade is not necessarily the best move. Even Dummer and Kramer are nervous.

What is it about tactics and strategies that these guys don't understand? I think it must be the special interest group effect. Voters need a SIG.
